Smoking is not allowed in the cat room, because cats are animals with a very sensitive sense of smell. Being in a smoky environment for a long time will greatly damage their sense of smell, and "second-hand smoke" will irritate the cat's respiratory tract and easily cause coughing, asthma, etc. Long-term inhalation of "second-hand smoke" may also induce lung diseases. Therefore, for the health of cats, try not to smoke in the area where cats live. If you find that your cat has obvious coughing, runny nose, frequent sneezing, etc. after smelling smoke, it is recommended to take it to a pet hospital for treatment in time.
1. Cigarette smoke is irritating, and cats have a more sensitive sense of smell. If they stay in an environment with a strong smell of smoke or pungent odors for a long time, the cat's sense of smell will decrease. Therefore, when raising cats, it is necessary to ventilate the environment around the cats, and clean the home regularly to prevent dust irritation from causing sneezing, runny noses and other symptoms in cats.
2. Since second-hand smoke contains a large amount of tar, nicotine and other harmful carcinogens, if the cat smokes it for a long time, it may cause lung infection in the cat, leading to pneumonia. At the same time, these substances will remain on the cat's hair. If the cat licks its hair, it will continue to ingest these substances. If things go on like this, it will easily lead to organ cancer. Studies have shown that cats who smoke secondhand smoke are three times more likely to develop lymphoma than other cats.
3. If you often smoke in the place where cats live, it may also cause cats to cough and expectorate, making them susceptible to respiratory diseases such as bronchitis, emphysema, and bronchiectasis. Therefore, owners try not to smoke in front of cats.
